Citizenship’s static territorial model excludes those who move

Evidence

The modernist sense of citizenship is stat-ic, at basis immobile. It also, in a sense, bristles at its borders, antagonistically excluding those taken not to belong, not already a member. By contrast, lam asking with John Urry (2000: 167#f.) what a conception of citizenship (and by extension the state) ~ of civic engagement and commitment, interests and investments, powers and responsibilities - would amount to if taking as first principles social flow and flexibilities, mobilities and movements, transformativity and transition. — David Theo Goldberg, The Racial State, 142
